[FTC]: allowed ropes?

just a quick question

in the rules it says 1/8" rope, is that UP TO 1/8" thick? or HAVE TO BE 1/8" thick?

Re: [FTC]: allowed ropes?

The FTC Q&A answered this one a while back. Their stance is:

Quote:
A: 1/8" is a maximum diameter. Be sure to consider safety and strength limits when selecting a size of cord/rope.
So yes, you're allowed to use any diameter of rope up to and including 1/8".

We're in the greater toronto area and our local home depot had the perfect size of rope. I'd def. try over there
